Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 12 ounces turkey (deli-style)
- 12 slices sandwich-sized pepperoni
Breads and Base:
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seasonings and Additions:
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ⅓ cup Italian dressing
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- ½ red onion
- ½ cup sweet and hot salad peppers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish for the subs.
- Slice each hoagie roll horizontally, keeping the bottom and top connected like a book.
- Brush the inside of each roll with 1 tablespoon of Italian dressing, covering every surface.
- Layer 3 slices of pepperoni across the bottom half of each roll.
- Add 4-5 slices of turkey, carefully arranging them to cover the pepperoni.
- Fold 3 slices of provolone cheese and place them on top of the turkey.
- Scatter thinly sliced red onion and ½ cup of sweet and hot salad peppers over the cheese.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and oregano across the filling.
- Gently close the sandwiches, pressing them lightly to compact the ingredients.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and mix with 1 tablespoon of garlic salt.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each roll.
- Arrange the prepared subs in the baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly crisp.
- Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use soft, fresh hoagie rolls that aren’t too crusty to prevent breaking when folding.
- Drain salad peppers well to avoid making the sandwich soggy and losing crisp texture.
- For a low-carb version, swap hoagie rolls with large lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas.
- Experiment with different deli meats like ham or roast beef to customize your sub’s flavor profile.
